The sim we use is $1k/hr. It ain't cheap. I can understand why we want a commitment from training. I understand when people say no to training contracts when the "training" is 3 hours around the pattern, but for a 20 hour program at Flight Safety, I get why we want a contract. I'd say at the moment Tradewind has the best contract policy of any similar operator.

But they've got an SIC commitment. If I don't like Tradewind I can leave immediately upon getting my ATP mins and pocket my entire bonus at a regional or upgrade and take the PIC pay. At PS I'd have to give something back. I'm also a fan of 4/3, the extra $9k for being an SIC, and not having to wait until October for class.

Just curious, where do the Oxford based pilots typically live? My girlfriend was recently offered a position at HQ (!!) and if she accepts I'd move with her and try to change my base to OXC. We're looking hard at New Haven at the moment because it's not too far but it's a college town with lots of people in our age range (we're both graduating in two weeks).
